AKo early in supersatellite

To the above poster – are you sure?

It seems to me that you are betting all of your chips that a push will scare of four other players. If you are called, it seems certain that the caller will have an underpair. I highly doubt someone with A-Q or worse is going to call. In my mind, I would not push unless I think the raiser and the caller are extremely loose. It is probably safe to assume the two people in the blinds have crap hands…but there is the chance they don’t.

Perhaps pushing is +EV here in the long term. But it seems a difficult play to make in my mind. If there were fewer people in the hand I might think otherwise.

Am I missing something? If so, please help me out as I know I have a lot to learn….

Board:
Dead:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 36.0805 % 35.64% 00.44% { AKo }
Hand 2: 22.8006 % 21.57% 01.23% { 22+, ATs+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, 87s, ATo+, KQo, QJo, JTo }
Hand 3: 23.2626 % 22.18% 01.09% { 22+, ATs+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, 87s, 76s, ATo+, KQo, QTo, JTo }
Hand 4: 17.8563 % 16.99% 00.87% { random }


I assumed a call, my ranges are fairly big, i figure the BB completes because hes getting good return on his money.
